ACES NAME FIRST FOUR FOR OPENER

BELLE Vue star Dan Bewley will be going for a second Peter Craven Memorial victory in the club’s traditional curtain-raiser on Monday March 18.

A powerful field is being assembled for the big event at the National Speedway Stadium with World No.2 Fredrik Lindgren lining up along with former Aces captain Max Fricke and USA star Luke Becker.

CEO Mark Lemon said: “We don’t do anything by halves at Belle Vue. It’s go big or go home, and I’m very excited about the field we have put together for this year’s Peter Craven Memorial.

“Each of the four riders we have announced today are more than just big names in the sport. They have skills and talent befitting their international reputation.

“We are privileged at Belle Vue to enjoy such world class racing each week from our ATPI Aces, and it only makes sense that we start off by welcoming some of the best riders in the world to this track.

“Dan knows what it’s like to win this meeting and he is a powerful force at home, but nothing is set in stone and in the past there have been many dark horses in this event.”
